"Toronto is beginning to dig itself out from the largest snowfall in the city's history, a process which officials say is likely to take several days. Some parts of Canada's largest city were buried under nearly 60cm of snow and more than 500 flights were cancelled Sunday after Toronto's main airport was snowed in. More than 88.2cm of snow have fallen at Pearson international airport this month, marking the snowiest January and snowiest month since records began in 1937."
"The storm, which swept across much of North America at the weekend, prompted several school boards to take the rare step of announcing closures on Sunday evening to the elation of Toronto students who received their second snow day of the month. Staff and families typically learn of closures early in the morning. The snow caused more 430 collisions in Toronto and another 200 in the surrounding areas, including one fatality."
Toronto is experiencing the largest snowfall in its history, with some areas receiving nearly 60 cm and Pearson International recording 88.2 cm this month, the snowiest January since 1937. More than 500 flights were canceled and transit suffered delays, a streetcar derailment, and above-ground subway closures. Several school boards announced Sunday closures, giving students a second snow day. The storm caused over 430 collisions in Toronto and about 200 in surrounding areas, including one fatality. City crews are prioritizing main roads, using plows and shovels, and warn that clearing residential streets and sidewalks will take several days. Residents can track plows with PlowTO.
